I should have considered it wrong to have finished the Frieze before the room for its accommodation and the funds for its completion were available.

From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity.

All art, literature, and music must be born in your heart's blood. Art is your heart's blood.

When I paint, I never think of selling. People simply fail to understand that we paint in order to experiment and to develop ourselves as we strive for greater heights.

Painting picture by picture, I followed the impressions my eye took in at heightened moments. I painted only memories, adding nothing, no details that I did not see. Hence the simplicity of the paintings, their emptiness.

It was always my intention that The Frieze should be housed in a room which would provide a suitable architectural frame for it.

The way one sees is also dependent upon one's emotional state of mind. This is why a motif can be looked at in so many ways, and this is what makes art so interesting.
